FAQ

A new roof may not be necessary, you may only need repair work. Findlay Roofing will inspect your roof to determine the extent of the problem; once the situation has been evaluated we can advise you on the proper and most cost-effective course of action.

A properly designed and functioning attic ventilation system is critical to the longevity of your roofing system. It is a critical requirement of shingle manufactures to maintain their warranty and is a key factor in controlling energy costs, neglecting your ventilation system can lead to the following moisture related issues:

  • Ice dam formation in cold weather
  • Moisture accumulation in the deck and / or building insulation
  • Premature failure of the roofing system including blistering and buckling of the roofing shingles due to deck movement
  • Rotting of wood members

Plywood Sheathing with Dry Rot

Yes, this technique is called Overlaying; however, we always recommend removal of the existing shingles. Installing new shingles over existing shingles creates a number of problems resulting in a roof that has a shortened life expectancy. Also, removing the existing layer(s) ensures the shingles will perform to the specifications set by the manufacture and your warranty will remain intact.

Signs of problems are most likely to be found on roofs that are fifteen years or older. In certain situations a home owner can spot problems safely from the ground with binoculars. For a professional inspection of your roofing system contact Findlay Roofing, inspections should be performed at least once annually.
As a building owner you can look for some of the following issues:

  • loose and / or missing shingles
  • buckled shingles ( middle bends upwards) and / or curling shingles (turned upwards at corners)
  • damaged or missing flashing around vent pipes, chimneys, along adjoining walls and where the walls intersect roofs
  • blistering and / or rotting shingles along with missing granules

Often these problems can be corrected without replacing the entire roofing system. The key is to identify them early, rely on Findlay Roofing to perform all procedures necessary to correct the issues.
